Please correct me if I'm wrong
But on my AMD, by using "-force64", I can still boot into the GUI in 64-bit mode
All installed kexts (both 32 & 64-bits) were running fine,
including the sleepenabler.kext
I'm also still able to run all applications which were built using 64-bit compiler
such as: Mac's Finder, Safari, TextEdit, QuickTime, Colloquy, etc
Even the 64-bit GeekBench (
www.primatelabs.ca/geekbench) gave me a better/higher score than I got in the 32-bit mode
The ONLY problem was ONLY
all 32-bit apps refused to start in 64-bit mode & quit unexpectedly,
with the same repetitive errors: "Exception Type: EXC_BAD_INSTRUCTION (SIGILL)"
